As we step into Better Hearing Month, the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), WS Audiology (WSA), and the Kentucky Academy of Audiology (KAA) are pleased to launch Listen Up Kentucky, a new state-focused public awareness initiative focused on prevention, early intervention, and the lifelong importance of hearing health.

Through this collaboration, WSA and ADA are piloting grassroots, local-market, public service announcements (PSA) across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, bringing critical hearing health messages and awareness about the risks of untreated hearing loss directly into communities where people live, work, and play. These efforts are designed to encourage individuals to protect their hearing from noise exposure and to see an audiologist for regular hearing checks.

As part of the initiative, Kentucky-specific PSA spots are now available for local TV and radio media placement and for use by audiologists throughout the Commonwealth.
